What movie did you bring home today?

Picked up Top Gun Maverick 4K UHD. Our local Barnes and Noble had a pretty good 4K selection

Never heard of it. Any good? Wasn’t there a movie called Top Gun back in the 70s with Burt Reynolds or something? 😉

Tom Cruise back at it again lol. I really enjoyed the audio the jets taking off were shaking the couch. Barnes and Nobles had a lot of deals some comparable to Amazon prices

Finally got around to watching Civil War this afternoon (I brought it home a couple weeks ago). Man is that disc an audio/video FEAST!
 
Howdy folks. Its been a long time since I've been on here. Things were hectic and busy this summer. I snagged the following blurays. The group of 4 was snagged today at Value Village and Furiosa I purchased off of Amazon.

I still haven't seen Furiosa. Waiting for (hopefully) a Black Friday discount.

It's pretty awesome, eh? It's a surprisingly good movie, too.

Awesome haul! I've not yet seen Furiosa from start to finish, either. I'd like to, tho. Looks super interesting!

I’ve seen some people write how much they didn’t like it and advised others to not waste their money. I mean, to each their own, but the A/V makes it a must buy in my opinion, and I really enjoyed the story as well. Definitely a rewatchable flick!
 
Also recently picked up a bunch of films on Kaleidescape…

Here’s a few…

Curious how you like The Wild Robot. Looks interesting to me.

Do you always download the 4K SDR as well as the HDR? I used to pre-Lumagen.

My Point Break is apparently about 7 stops away.

My last dozen from Kaleidescape:

Haven’t watched it yet….

And, yes… but not intentionally. I always delete lesser versions and keep hdr.

I’m assuming there’s a setting?

I don't know. I always had to manually download the SDR version so I could compare how my older projector would look vs the HDR version and then delete the one I didn't intend to watch.

That’s weird. My system auto downloads all versions at the same time. :gah:
 
I just watched "Late Night with the Devil" over the weekend it's interesting how they presented it, definitely worth a watch for sure
Great flick!

My latest bluray order came in.

This replaces 2 DVD versions of the movie that I will add to my trailer/cottage collection and frees up 1.5 spots on my crowded media shelf

Seeing the original Blues Brothers movie on a ProLogic sound system is the thing that sparked my interest in home theater. The horns of She Caught the Katy popping into the surround channels in the opening scene blew my mind.
 
Okay, we watched this last night.

The 4K is a slight improvement over the HD version in Kaleidescape. There is very limited need for HDR or Dolby Vision. And the audio sounds exactly like the mix on the bluray.

This was a waste of $30 IMO. I will likely keep it on the shelf and go to the Kaleidescape version when I want to watch, based on the convenience. There's not enough gains on this disc to make it worthwhile IMO. Really shocking considering all the drooling about the video encode when this was released. I wonder if that group of reviewers had actually ever seen the blu-ray or if they just wanted to make the biggest noise about a Shout! release that is still not available on Kaleidescape.

Disappointing. Save yourself a few bucks and stick with the bluray.
